It's a pretty view / unique view. Honestly - I might not add that hour onto a 737 mile trip unless your passenger was really interested. That's a long time in GA if you haven't done it before. My $0.02. Could their intro flight be down the lakeshore and back (Baha'i is easy to spot and nice...

I have nothing helpful but look forward to reading about your journey. Are you flying solo or with a spouse or others? First big trip? Are you instrument rated? Blue skies!

I did my training here back in the 90s. They told me not to bother with C90 for flight following. After taking an unsuccessful run at the IR NW of the city, I have the past 2-years successfully gotten flight following around ORD. Sometimes shuffled off to other frequencies but it's been a long...

Sorry I missed it. My CC got lost, and the new one was in the mail. Just arrived so I clicked here and . . . Missed it. Appreciate all you guys do and the forum overall!

No offense to Gilbert or 21Whiskey, but my understanding is it's hard to get actual in the Midwest in the Winter due to the freezing level being at the surface most of the time. I'm thinking you look down the West Coast where they have a marine layer and coastal fog, but are above freezing and...

Welcome back!

@Scrabo itblooks like they'll add readers but not full prescription lenses. Was that your experience?

@asicer how close are you to a prop strike with a flat nose tire? Not that close?

How many check the tire pressure with a gauge before flight. Ever? I have never in 29 years. Didn't realize a car tire gauge would work (never thought of it). After 3-tires in a year (across two airplanes in the club and ~$600 each to fix according to mx officer) we are being asked to check the...

There likely are no deals in aviation. Ground school kit is maybe $30 for the book vs $12k for the Private pilots license? Reasonable schools (even bad schools?) are booked solid right now with folks clamoring for the airlines? I'd be surprised if this was the first year flight schools ran sales.

That's cool.

@Stewartb you installed them yourself? Hardwired for power, network or both? Our ADT nest cam is wonky with our Wi-Fi. Usually works but sometimes . . . No. And I'd rather have multiple cameras and lights front side and back.

@Bob Noel only if there was one already in the chamber. Usually, that moves a shell from the tube into the chamber to be ready to fire the first time.

Sorry for the children and grandchildren.

Where do your ring cam store video @Stewartb amd for how long (hours, days etc.)? where do you have them other than the door bell?

@Checkout_my_Six that's NOT a six! I misunderstood your name the whole time. Going to have to search for pics of your keester now . . . And that's a hell of a boring holes in the sky ride. Sweet. @Abram do you own your own business? It'll be a few years before I could shift from this club...

@DMD3. be cautious with Dave Ramsey - he sometimes gives psychological vs financial advice (ex: pay off some of your smaller debts first, even if higher rate, for the feeling of accomplishment. . . ). His get rich slow approach . . . Is the right approach. Almost nobody (I'm saying...

@Tobias Göller a few of the original owners (club members - they didn't own the plane outright) fight the hangar pretty hard. The MX guru argues it would cause more corrosion than sitting outside in the Midwest because a cement floor is conducive to moisture? I don't agree but admit I've never...

Loved your follow up post @Chapel K. Sounds like a great next step and changeable if not what you want. I suggested buying a Champ/Cub or Extra 300 up string but, myself, joined a club that had a waiting list about 3-months back. While far from perfect, for me, I'm more positive now that...

OMG! The first time I had access to a plane, could sneak away from work AND it was CAVU!!! I have a head cold and didn't see this until tonight. Went up for some recurrency on a similarly beautiful day yesterday and it was a mistake with the sinuses. I couldn't risk that today anyway (the...
